You have a special place Dear Lord that I know you\'ll always keep A special place reserved for dogs when they quietly fall asleep With large and airy kennels and a yard for hiding bones With maybe a little babbling creek that chatters over stones. With wide green fields and flowers for those who never knew about running freely under Your sky of perfect blue. Lord,I know You keep this Special Place And so to you I Pray, For one Special puppy Who quietly died yesterday She was full of strength & love and so very, very wise. The puppy look she once had Had long since left her eyes. She is dearly missed my Lord By a very good friend of mine. She went to join her ancestors To Your land that is Divine So, speak to Sophie softly please And give her a warm hello. She\'s a Special gift to you Dear Lord From all, who loved her so. jan cooper 1994 (with permission)
